birthday highlights

We had a great weekend in the city!

5. books galore at Printers Row
4. modern wing at AIC
3. More cupcakes - double chocolate, passion fruit meringue, salted caramel and red velvet
2. prosecco cocktails - rhubarb was the group fave
1. visiting old friends, of course!

We also had some good news to start the week: Ben is starting a temp position next week through the end of August!! He'll be at an insurance company in town (not mine) getting some more experience in the world of finance.

I don't know how the week can get any better! Maybe we'll play the lottery.

june?!

My birthday is really sneaking up on me. I can't believe it's June 3. I've been working way too much so the days are flying by, and the weather is way too chilly for June.

We're preparing for a getaway this weekend to the city. I can't wait to visit the new modern wing at the Art Institute, browse Printers Row, eat at our favorite places, visit friends....it'll be nice to get out of dodge.

And I haven't said it in awhile, but we welcome all visitors to Bloomington-Normal! I'd be lying if I said it was the perfect getaway spot, but WE'RE HERE and since that is the case good times will be had!

thunderstorm

I am trying to get a quick post in between storms! We've gotten rain, wind, thunder, lightening and hail since I got home from work. We ran out to carry our new, little tree (currently in a pot to be moved to the front porch soon) to the garage so he didn't get too banged up.

I've been working the past 8 days straight so my brain is toast. I will get back on the blog wagon this week, I promise!
